I shot my first wedding in July 2008. As I sat and edited the photographs, I fell in love with all the memories I shot from that day. It was so special to capture these unique, intimate moments and relive them through my photos.
Photography is such a powerful tool, and that’s exactly what I want to share with you. I love being a part of your special day — being a fly on the wall and preserving those in-between emotions and moments. It’s all in those little details, and with me, you won’t miss a thing.
I graduated with a photography degree from Minneapolis Community and Technical College. I gained extensive experience assisting with weddings before starting my own photography business. I specialize in lifestyle, family sessions, and small business branding. Through my work, I've honed skills in making people feel at ease, capturing light, and creating exceptional photos. As a mom of three kiddos, I'm a master at multitasking and balancing responsibilities.

As your photographer, I love seeing the connection between people. I want to capture your raw emotions without unnatural or stiff poses. My favorite thing is to catch the sparkle in your eyes when you look at your love, the wind blowing into your hair, the warmth of sunset light glowing on your skin, even the tiniest smile hiding in the corner of your lips.
Your focus should be on celebrating your day. My job is to tell your story perfectly so each detail and memory will be there for you to relish. You chose everything with such care — I am here to capture it.
I will meet with you a few times before your wedding day to make sure all the details are perfect. Part of my process is getting to know you both, talking to you and understanding how you connect so on your "Big Day" we are not strangers - we're friends. I am passionate about creating something new and unique that embodies your one-of-a-kind relationship.
Each day is so fun and special for me! I love brainstorming ideas for your venue, looking at sneak peeks of your dress (making sure no one else sees it), watching your friends squeal at the dress reveal, looking at your Pinterest inspiration board.... I'm here to plan your dream wedding.

I don't like drinking tea or coffee from colorful mugs. It should be white inside so I can admire the color of the drink!
I cry behind the camera often during the first dances. I love my brides and grooms!
